Huh. Learn something new every day ... I just found out that the word "chortle" is of much more recent origin than I'd imagined. According to a web page about the evolution of English, "chortle" was coined by Lewis Carrol as a combination of "chuckle" and "snort". And here I'd thought it was one of those "been around [effectively] forever" words. (Okay, it would obviously have to be Middle English or Modern English, so I knew it was less than a thousand years old, but still, I was waaaaay off.)
